Facts fuelled by "me" time

This time, I'm not kidding.

I'm REALLY taking a break from baking. Sure I got my first order of cupcakes for Sunday. But that aside, I'm staying away from more baking at least till Monday. Instead, I'm gonna gimme some "me" time. Yes flour! You heard me. Damn you and your stupid friends sugar. And Valrhona, don't think I love you just coz you have a fancy name!

As a kid, I made my own mini candy store with cardboard, mini jam jars and rewrapped cut-up sweets

My most memorable “alone” time in life involved an hour long boat ride from Montreux to Le Bouveret after a 6 hr flight, swimming in Lake Geneva, walking down Sixth Ave. in Manhattan for interviews, and stepping into my dorm room for the first time at BU

I was head cheerleader in high school

At 10, I disobeyed my teacher by rollerblading in class.She slapped me and I laughed

Max the dog bit me in Oct '05 and left a scar on my left cheek

I crave chocolate only once a month

I developed allergies at 21

Despite graduating with honors, I didn't do the walk. No reason

I love and hate being Asian

When living in London, I ate fries and mayo almost every night before bed

Miss. Chong... SERIOUSLY, how do you have time to make macarons, jot down long lists about yourself, maintain a relationship with one of the most genuinely kind-hearted guys I've ever known, AND remain productive at work??

I'm beginning to think our bestfriend-ship is a love-hate sort of relationship.. I adore u to death, but hate the fact that I can't do all that you do.. oh wait, maybe if I didn't spend HALF my life in traffic I'd be living the Chong dream..
